There’s a lot of extremely wealthy people who effectively have infinite money and want to see the Republicans in power. Trump’s probably hoping that, after the rubes’ donations have been diverted to his legal funds, these shadowy plutocrats will quietly step in and ensure that the races that matter are amply funded.
Look at the Truth Social IPO. They already are
You think that money is going to down ballot races instead of directly into Trump's pocket,???? Lol
They don't give a shit about down ballot. Down ballot doesn't matter when you control all three branches of government, imprison or kill all your enemies, and replace the entire federal beauracracy with toadies.
They don't care about consequences because they do not intend to suffer them.
My man, what do you think “down ballot” means?
What part of this do you not understand? They don't care about down ballot races because they intend to install a dictatorship. You think Putin gives a shit how much funding down ballot candidates get? Fuck no. They just install whoever they want or have sham elections.
You: They will control the House, Senate, and Presidency.
Also You: They don't care about voting in House and Senate races.
Somehow Also You: What don't you understand about my previous statement?
Down ballot is where the gerrymandering and state supreme courts work together to kill democracy.
Fear will keep the local systems in line.
